I gave up my PH.D degree back then to join my husband, not because it was too hard, but because I was tired of it. I was never regretful of this decision. I guess dropping out of school is a luxury as well:)
I want my kids to be happy too. However pushing to a certain degree is good for them. Besides, they might not even be happy even when you don't push them any way. I fight with myself all the time about how I should bring them up: totally spoil them or be firm and prepare them for their future life? So far I am going with the second choice although I swing back and forth in my mind all the time. Well, at least they know that I love them……
